Curly, Yes, Mark and others have advised me that the tranny is getting too much vacuum to shift properly. And it seems the most obvious culprit is the vacuum modulator on top of the IP, but I won't know for positive until I can get the vacuum checked. I hope it's not as the last time it went, the MB dealership had to order the correct one from Germany. No, my setup doesn't even have the little plastic vacuum switches on top of the valve cover, although my 1983 300D does have that setup. The 1980 was an odd car, different vacuum setup, different glow plug relay, the old servo on the climate control, etc. etc. It is a great car to drive. Rides and handles fantastic. And it has lasted, except for the tranny, it is all original down to the exhaust system with around 425,000 miles using the cursed dino oil :-)))) Thanks again, Roger Roger Hale Dinnerware Classics, Inc.
